Lions Bay Search and Rescue (SAR) made a rescue of an injured hiker on Mount Brunswick on Saturday afternoon.

Two teenaged girls were hiking down the mountain when one of them slipped on loose rock and injured their ankle.

The pair were well prepared, with a first aid kit that had an instant ice pack and tensor bandages. The teens stabilized the ankle while they waited for SAR.

According to SAR, the injured ankle was unable to take weight and based on the difficult terrain, they asked for assistance from North Shore Rescue for a helicopter hoist extraction.

The two teens were taken off the mountain via Talon helicopters.
